After losing like 25 out of my last 35 games as P, I semi-raged and cursed P for being so fragile.. You have to be sooo careful with the decisions you make, which could be said for all races I suppose but when you lose with P, it's really frustrating -_-

Anyway, upon reflection I realized I don't understand Protoss and it just doesn't fit my style at all. I played T in BW and the things I liked most about terran was that it had the highest resistance to 'bullshit' and had a lot of highreward units when microed properly (which is what sentries are but... the defensive version)

I'm a struggling 2400-2500 diamond on the korean server so if you think you can learn from my replays I welcome you to take a look at my TvPs, which is by far my best matchup and ask questions.

As for TvT and TvZ I'm clueless so I'll try to upload losses and get advice on map-specific openings. I have no opening other than reactored hellions The reason I was a bad pvzer was because I couldn't tell how hard Z was droning so I was reluctant to pressure since losing my pressure army = lose. But with hellions, they're fast and expendable.

So... my terran journey starts! :D
I plan on updating this blog as often as I can. These are the first batch of my ladder games after switching to Terran a few hours ago.

I crossed my fingers for lots of TvP and that's what I got hehe.

UPDATED:

TvZ Insane game.. Was gonna do mass ravens again but his baneling bust does terrible damage to me so I'm forced to play standard
One of the most intense games for me in SC2.. easily top 3. 50 min back and forth game. His points are really low but I guess that means he took a break or smurfed, either way high ELL. Besides, he's a Prime Clan member :p

-------------------------------------------------------------
TvP fast colossus expand
I let him get away with a pretty greedy fast colossus into expand build... he built practically no gateway units... I couldn't scout the robo and it was cross positions so I didn't want to risk pressuring him without knowing what he had in store. Goes on for a while until we split maps... I delay his ht tech as long as possible but :/ needed more mauraders... too many useless marines and notice how P gets super fast +3 attack. Game breaker right there.

Also mauraders are so much better at harassing with medivacs since they unload much quicker. I'm not sure why I had such a high marine ratio.

TvZ mass ravens again, comes down to a near elimination race
Need to find a cost efficient mineral dump.. perhaps mass PFs lol

TvZ mass raven roflstomped by a good zerg
This guy knew what was up and started taking all bases and took complete map vision. Too many bases to harass since mass ravens are good for the first blow which takes out a good chunk of their infrastructure. Plus, cross positions on Shakuras, possible worst map to try it on.

TvP.. P fakes stargate into templar tech
I guess he wanted to waste my minerals on turrets and possibly hope that I had no stim... close call though, I drop harass him with nearly 20 units and he decides to counterattack but I got energy upgraded ghosts just in time lol.. he rage quits. 2650 toss

TvP 3 gate voids
safe number of turrets

TvP obvious 4 gate is obvious
My opening of choice, 2 rax, stomps this bullshit if I know it's coming

TvP dt expand
Was kind of lucky to completely shut down his first waves of dts

TvP fake dt to expand ht tech
scanned dt shrine, scanned cancelled dt shrine :p

TvT cloack banshee opening from me
claock banshees is the only opening I feel comfortable with since I have initiative but I'm sure more experienced players will shut it down completely

TvT standard
I tried to do an anti-banshee, air superiority build but failed contain put me in a bad position

TvZ Mass ravens, the one strategy I'm comfortable with (100% serious)

TvZ mass ravens again, I very rarely lose with this strategy so far so I see no reason to stop...
I'll probably need to learn some standard tvz for the long term though

Any questions/feedback are welcome.

Lmfao at your raven build. It seems to work really great if you manage to take your opponent off guard. Unfortunatly ive been having problems in tvz too

Btw, I've heard that you shouldn't wall-in with depots since you're vulnerable to baneling busts but pros do it all the time. What's the advantage of having supply depot wall-in other than it being harder for him to scout?

AHHH I'm in the same position as you. I feel like I've plateau'd as a Protoss player, and have been playing around as Terran.
I love the harass opportunities that Terran has...
And yes, playing TvP makes me feel like its imba. :o

TvZ is probably my hardest matchup.

I'll be following your blog!
